Introduction

Here you will find step by step guides on how to setup a car on iRacing. We will be going through the most common setup tweaks available for almost every car on the iRacing service.

 

Before you start

You need to ask yourself if you reached the maximum potential that the baseline setup has to offer. Fiddling with setup changes before you master the car and track can lead to bad habits and inefficient driving that will make you slower. You need to assess that the time you are losing is not due to driver errors or style that is causing the car to react like it does with the baseline setup. If you are consistently matching your best lap time and you are within 0.1s-0.2s of your optimal lap time in a test session using the same weather and track state then you are ready for making setup adjustments to make you faster.
